Charles Bukowski
“I’ve had so many knives stuck into me, when they hand me a flower I can’t quite make out what it is. It takes time.”
Charles Bukowski

Vasily Grossman
“It is the writer's duty to tell the terrible truth, and it is a reader's civic duty to learn this truth. To turn away, to close one's eyes and walk past is to insult the memory of those who have perished.”
Vasily Grossman, The Road: Stories, Journalism, and Essays

Kinky Friedman
“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
Kinky Friedman

Tom Waits
“I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.”
Tom Waits

Tom Waits
“We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness.
We are monkeys with money and guns.”
Tom Waits
